Has anybody visited or have plans to visit any of the ⌚ museums listed below? Are the sites worth the day trip? Please feel free to leave comments, thoughts, and experiences. I have also included some links to some other sites and resources below.

Want to go see them all. Realistically, the museum in Pennsylvania is the only one I will be able to visit.

Been to the Royal Greenwich Observatory and the Clockmaker's Museum in the UK. They are a must see.

Plan to visit Glashütte in May this year! Will post pics & report. PP museum in Geneva also on the list, but no year or date set yet 🙃

I also would like to visit all of these. But, for now, the plan it to visit the Breguet museum in Paris in September.

I have a loose plan for a Japan trip and the Seiko museum is already on it.

Great post from @luccidor https://www.watchcrunch.com/luccidor/posts/the-seiko-museum-ginza-experience-295829

I went to the Patek Phillippe Museum a few months ago and I’d say it’s worth the trip. Pretty amazing in my opinion. The IWC one is also nice, but I wouldn’t go to Schaffhausen just to see it. Geneva (and nearby) has more to offer in terms of watch sightseeing. Enjoy!

I visited the Deutsches Uhrenmuseum in january and it's definitely worth it. So much history and stuff to look at for enthusiasts like us!

Just be aware that this museum has a heavy focus on Glashütte and their brands which are obviously very cool but i didn't see anything from Laco, Stowa or Sinn for example.

Seiko Museum in Ginza was cool - it's split up into multiple floors, although each floor is not very big. Absolutely worth stopping by as admission is free and it won't take up a lot of your day.

If you work on watches enough, your drawers become miniature museums.

Erm no , I’m in Australia 🇦🇺 so a bit far away. It would be fun if I could drive to see them .

I will be over in London in about 2 weeks and this is on my list to visit!

The National Watch and Clock Museum is a must-see if you live anywhere close to Pennsylvania.

You can also visit the Hamilton boutique and mini-museum, RGM watches nearby, and head to King of Prussia mall for a bit of watch hunting.

The National Watch and Clock Museum is worth the trip. My wife and I hope to make it to Switzerland and check out watch and clock museums there.

I've been to the National Watch and Clock Museum in Pennsylvania and it was amazing. My family surprised me with a trip there for Father's Day a few years ago and they had to drag me out of there... I didn't want to leave :)

They have a huge selection of pieces that cover the human experience of measuring time. Their staff is really friendly and they love answering questions. Since they are located so close to Lancaster, they have a specific Hamilton exhibit which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Overall it's definitely worth the trip. If you are coming to the Lancaster area, make it a day and visit the museum, Brent Miller (our best AD for Tudor, Breitling, Grand Seiko, Seiko, Omega, Shinola, Mont Blanc, Tag Heuer, Bell & Ross), and the new Hamilton Boutique in downtown (sadly they aren't open on the weekends... I've asked them if they plan to update their hours and they said they are discussing it).

Admission is reasonable at $36 for a family of 4.

I got to see the lobby of the seiko museum on the way to look at their watch collection at the ginza flagship boutique. I really wanted the museum tour but my wife had other plans 🤪

I think if youre a fan of these brands or watchmaking in general, any of these museums would be enjoyable. Unfortunate for me because the person i was in the trip with finds museums boring 😩

In 2009 I was in Geneva Switzerland while on vacation and had the opportunity to visit the PP museum. Mind you at that time I was not as into watches as I am now but was astounded of it's history and collection.

I'm going to German in the fall, so I'm contemplating a side trip to Glashütte. Seem de rigueur. But it's kind of out of the way, and not very easy to get to by train. As near as I can tell, you can't visit any of the manufactures, they don't offer tours or anything. Please correct me if I'm wrong. For folks who've been, what's there to do there besides the museum?

I am most curious about this museum at present because Lancaster is probably a two hour drive from where I live.

Thanks for the insight.

Understand, but I hear that you have some great brand boutiquea in Sydney and Melbourne.

I am aware that 🇦🇺 is its own continent and a rather large one at that, but a visit to either city might warrant popping into some of these boutiques.

You are right in that Glashütte is a bit of a detour.

There is a link on the Nomos website detailing a visit to Glashütte be train from either Berlin or Dresden.

There is the German Watchmaking Museum in Glashütte, which I heard is beautiful.

Nomos has a boutique at the factory.

Mühle Glashütte might offer a tour with a reservation.

Plan to go the seiko museum when I land in Tokyo

Folks here say that it is worth the trip.

I've been to the Seiko Museum twice. If you are ever in Tokyo, you should go. The Wako flagship department store is right around the corner. The second floor of the department store is dedicated to GS and Credor. Also, the Grand Seiko Boutique and a couple other Seiko Stores are in close proximity.

In May I visited the horology exhibit at The British Museum in London. I loved it.

The whole museum was magnificent. The horology section was icing on the cake.

Been to the Seiko and Glashutte one. Super worth it.

I visited Musée International d’Horlogerie (MIH) as I live in switzerland and I can tell you it is a treat for watch lovers!
